Definitions

  • the invention further relates to a seat specific to the implementation of this method.
  • the passenger seats arranged in the aircraft are commonly equipped with electric actuators for moving different movable elements of the seat relative to each other.
  • the seat can have sufficient rigidity, avoiding that in the event of a violent impact, the seat does not deform or become detached from the rest of the vehicle. 'apparatus.
  • the mere presence of actuators connecting the different elements of the seat is not always sufficient to meet these resistance constraints in case of impact.
  • latches are constituted for example by the movable core of an electromagnet whose winding is carried by a movable part of the seat and whose movable core is movable between a retracted position and an extended position for which it is engaged in the fixed part of the seat. seat, thus ensuring a positive mechanical locking of the movement of the two seat parts relative to each other.
  • the movable core of the electromagnet forming the latch is received in a smaller size keeper formed in the complementary part of the seat.
  • the seat is equipped with means for controlling the electromagnet, so that, before actuation of the actuator ensuring the displacement of the two parts relative to each other, the lock is retracted. and, conversely, so that the output of the latch is controlled when the actuator reaches a predetermined position in which the latch is in the latch to ensure the implementation of the latch.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a solution to this problem of displacement of the lock.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for controlling a seat according to claim 1.
  • the method comprises one or more of the features of claims 2 to 4.
  • the invention also relates to a vehicle seat according to claim 5.
  • the seat 10 shown on the figure 1 has a seat 12, a backrest 14 and two rails 16 fixed to the ground and along which the seat 12 and the backrest 14 are slidably mounted via a base 18.
  • the rails 16 form guide means of the base 18 of the seat.
  • An actuator 20 is disposed between the base 18 and the ground to move the base 18 along the length of the rails 16.
  • the actuator 20 is connected to a central control unit 22, itself connected to a keyboard 24 allowing the passenger seated on the seat to move it by command of the actuator 20.
  • the actuator 20 is equipped with a means for measuring its position and therefore the position of the seat along the length of the rails 16.
  • This measuring means is formed for example of a potentiometer. It is connected to the control unit 22 to continuously know the current position of the seat.
  • two latches 26 are mounted on the base 18. They are each constituted by the core of an electromagnet 27 whose winding 28 is integral with the base.
  • the core 26 is movable transversely to the direction of advance of the base between a retracted position in which it is away from the associated rail 16 and an extended position in which it is engaged in a striker 30 forming a stop formed in the rail 16 ensuring thus a positive mechanical blocking of the movement of the base 18 with respect to the rails 16.
  • the striker 30 and the lock 26 are schematically represented on a larger scale on the figure 2 .
  • the striker 30 has an extension L in the direction of movement of the base greater than the corresponding dimension of the lock 26.
  • the lock 26 in its extended position can be engaged in the striker 30 for several positions of the base over a reduced range of displacement thereof in which the lock is in front of the striker 30.
  • a first position of the electromagnet 27 is shown in solid lines on the figure 2 while another position 27A is shown in phantom to illustrate this situation.
  • the electromagnets 27 are each connected to the control unit 22 to control the output of the cores 26 when the seat is in a safety position in which the locks must be engaged in the striker and to retract the cores 26 when the use command moving the seat of this safety position to another position, in particular by controlling the actuator 20.
  • the central control unit 22 implements the algorithms illustrated on the Figures 3 and 4 .
  • a zone l partially overlapping a front end of the striker 30 is defined in the control unit 22 to control the seat in a particular way when the lock 26 is in this area at least to bring the lock to its unobstructed position.
  • the position provided by the measuring means provided in the actuator is continuously compared to zone I.
  • a phase of movement of the base 18 by setting the actuator 20 in motion whether it is a phase of advance or recoil, the lock 26 is retracted.
  • a stop command is addressed by the user.
  • Such a command may consist, for example, in that the user stops pressing the command button allowing the leg 18 to move.
  • step 304 the position of the actuator 20 and therefore of the base 18 is determined to know if the lock 26 is or not in the zone I.
  • step 306 the actuator 20 is still controlled by the unit 22, despite the stop command of the user.
  • the lock 26 can not stop next to the zone I of the striker.
  • the lock is engaged in the lock being certain that it is outside the zone I.
  • the lock 26 is sufficiently spaced from the edges of the striker so that it can be easily engaged in the strike without risk of striking the edges thereof.
  • the central control unit 22 detects that the base is not in the safety position and does not cause the output control of the locks 26.
  • step 402 the electromagnet is directly controlled at stage 403; it is checked, in step 404, whether the lock 26 is or not in the zone l. If this is the case, the actuator 20 is controlled, in step 406, in the opposite direction so as to cause the retreat of the base. The recoil control is maintained until the latch exits zone 1 and is in position 26A shown in phantom on the figure 2 . Stopping of the actuator 20 is then controlled in step 408. In step 410, the locks 26 are retracted and only after retraction of the locks, the actuator 20 is driven forward, in accordance with the request of the 'user.
  • the latch is extended or retracted from the striker while it is away from the ends of the striker. It can thus be moved despite the low power of the electromagnet acting on the mobile core.
  • a sensor can control the retraction of the latch. If this sensor confirms the retraction of the latch, the stage 406 is no or stops.
  • the striker 30 formed of a hole in which the lock 26 is housed is replaced by a rod forming a stop for a hook-shaped lock, the hook being movable between a position in which the hook is engaged around the rod and an unobstructed position of the rod.
